Vagrant

I admit it, some tools confuse me. I know they must be amazing, because
programs don't get popular by being dumb (well, reality TV, but that's
another story). I have the same sort of confusion with Vagrant that I
have with Wine, Docker, Chef and countless other amazing tools people
constantly rave about. So in this article, I'm going to break down Vagrant into
its simplest form.

How many times you have been hit by unit tests failing because of environment
differences between you and other team members? How easy is it to build
your project and have it ready for development? Vagrant provides a
method for creating repeatable development environments across a range of
operating systems for solving these problems.

What if, just like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, you could wake up
to a fresh and identical development environment completely free of
yesterday's experiments and mistakes?
Vagrant lets you do exactly that.
